Special Assistant to Kwara State Governor on Communication, Ibraheem Abdullateef, noted that the current administration has succeeded in phasing out hard times in the state by delivering high-quality healthcare, education, and improved welfare services.
Abdullateef who made the disclosure in Ilorin, on Thursday, said the previous government inflicted unbearable suffering on the state civil servants, women and youths.
He, however, stressed that the Kwaran populace would no more vote for a stooge as governor in the state.
“The decision to vote for APC last time is justified. It was one of the best decisions we have taken as a people. Kwarans especially had the most horrible experience in history from 2015 –2019 under the previous administration. Things are just getting better in the past three years,” he said about the significance of O’to ge in the state.
“At that time, education, health and water were in bad shape. You see civil servants, teachers, women, and youths suffering a lot due to neglect and incompetence of the leadership. If O’to ge had not happened, Kwara might have gone under totally. Nothing was working and the hardship was unbearable.”
Speaking about the achievements of the current government, Abdullateef said: “Today, no civil servants are owed a kobo in the past three years. There has been massive investment to bring education back on track and Kwara is now winning laurels nationally and internationally. Youths are being supported in enterprise and getting chance to serve in government. Access to water rate has gone up positively with the rehabilitation of over 14 waterworks. With renovations of over 45 PHCs/cottage hospitals, implementation of health insurance schemes among other programmes in the health sector, the state is posting positive indices across the strata. AbdulRazaq has practically given Kwarans a new lease of life.”
He furthered that absence of developmental initiatives and political will by last administration put Kwara on the edge of the precipice.
He maintained that AbdulRahman is answerable to only the masses, thereby deploying limited resources to better the lot of the common man.
“AbdulRazaq is the most competent, experienced, and credible candidate. He has been tested and can be trusted for the job. Yes, there are some others but they do not come near. On the one hand, we have someone who is literally running for an Executive Assistant Governor. On the other hand, one is barely experienced and overly ambitious. The people want the governor to continue his good works.”
He averred that state’s economy and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) have continued to improve, admitting that poverty and unemployment rate has reduced under Governor AbdulRahman.
Abdullateef said the general elections will determine the future of the state as he implored the people to vote the governor to in order to witness more dividends of democracy.r
